We are opening our offices for non-emergency procedures including dental hygiene, and hope this message finds you and your family in good health. As the state is starting to recover, all of us are transitioning towards a new normal. While many things have changed and will change, one has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

As you have likely noticed while visiting our office, infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. We strictly follow universal safety precaution recommendations made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), designed to protect both you and our staff. These practices have been in place for years and they do work. As CDC recommendations are adapted to fit the changing environment, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to update our routine to keep you safe. Thus, as we re-open our office for regular spectrum of procedures, you may see some changes. For example:

These are some of the many measures we are implementing to make your visits as safe and comfortable as possible. We are happy to answer any questions you may have, please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to seeing you and caring for you again!

Privacy PracticesWe are required by Federal and State Law to maintain the privacy of your health information, in strict adherence to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Each patient will be given a copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices to review. This policy is mandated by law and will be followed to protect you and your family.

Patient Protection ProgramYour health and welfare are important to us. We take every necessary step to safeguard your health every time you come into our office. We are in strict compliance with all state and federal regulations, including those set by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to meet or exceed all standards regarding infection control procedures. When taking any x-rays, we always place an approved apron over the patients to protect them, even though radiation doses used in digital imaging are very low. We always wear gloves, masks, protective eyewear, clinical gowns and use disposable plastic wraps to ensure your safety. We also follow the most up-to-date rigorous cleaning, disinfection and sterilization protocol.

If you have any questions about our infection control procedures, please ask us. Well be happy to tell you more about the steps we take to protect you. Our staff receives regular HIPAA and OSHA training to stay abreast of current regulations.
